Tuesday Morning, Dec. 8, 1856.
LAH6KST CITY CIRCULATION.
Wo call the attention of our readers, the
Ladies especially, to the advertisement of Lee,
Kidd & Duncan. Their stock of fruit trees
and flowers is varied and extensive. They
are men of practical experience. Parties deal
ing with them may be satisfied they will get
the article that will suit them.
* Hog Driving.
The Chattanooga Advertiser of Saturday
says large droves of hogs have recently passed
through our city, en route to the markets in
the lower country. No fixed prices have been
established us yet for the market in Chatta
nooga.
—— -
Mr. Samuel Townsend, of Madison county,*
Ala., died on the 20th ult., aged 55 yoars. iie
Was said to be the wealthiest planter in that
county. The Democrat is informed that his
will directs about 40 of his slaves to be eman
cipated and removed from the State, and pro
vides that a large portion of his estate shall be
distributed among them.
Sad Accident.
The Huntsville Advocate learns that on
Wednesday the 10th ult. Mr. Burton T. Pride
was burnt to death near the Madison station,
in Madison county, Ala.
The brig Mazantlan, Captain Dix, from
Charleston for Mobile, with a cargo of 300
tierces of Rico, went ashore on Ohandcleur
Island about 8 o’clock on the morning of 17th
November, and will he a total loss.
The Telegraph.
It is considered a safe prediction that the
result of the next Presidential election will be
known in all the principal cities of Europe,
and possibly in India, on the morning of the
day ufter it has transpired.
A Veteran Voter.
Mr. John Snider, of Shepperdston, Va., rode
four miles through the rain on the day of the
late Presipential election to vote for Fillmore.
The same gentleman voted for George Wash
ington for the Presidency.
A ‘‘Bloody” City.
The Baltimore Sun states that ten persons
wore indicted for wilful murder during the
present term of the crimal court. In Balti
more city and county courts there are, there
fore, fourteen parties to he tried for wilful
murder—in every case by shooting with gun
or pistol!
An Unenviable Distinction.
The Cincinnati Uazetto claims for Porkopo
lis, (or to uso a prettier name, tho Queen City
of the West,) the distinction of being the great
whiskey mart of the world. The quantity of
“bald face,” alias “dead shot,” sold in Cincin
nati market, annually, is about 220,000 bar
rels or nine million gallons. It is thought
probable that the production of whiskey in
tho Ohio Valley is fifty million gallons per an
num, involving a consumption of twelve and a
half million bushels of corn, the average value
of which is five millions of dollars.
.Later from Texas—Battle at Camargo.
The steamship Charles Morgan, J. Lawless,
commander, from Galveston and Indianola,
November 18 and 19, arrived at New Orleans
ou Saturday morning.
By this arrival wo got the following news :
The Revolution in Nosthen Mexico.—
The Brownsville Flag, of the 18th iust., learns
that Col. Garcia, on the 2d inst., was attacked
at Camargo by a division of Vidaurri’s forces,
numbering 1,144 men under Col. MarriuSayns.
The attackers commenced the fight at about 1
o’clock in the morning, with three pieces of
artillery, consisting of one twenty-four pound
howitzer, one twelve and one four cannon.
Col. Garcia met him on tho outskits of the
town, and soon the fight became general, and
is represented as having been furious for some
hours’, when Sayns was compelled to retire
with a heavy loss in killed, wounded, and
prisoners, leaving behind two pieces of can
non, sixty of seventy mules, over a hundred
horses, several wagons of ammunition, and a
magnificent regimental banner. The Flag
says that Yidaurri, if heminond in ns repre
sented, must either yield to his enemies or oall
in foreign aid.
Spalding & Rogers’ Circus.
The Griffin Union says this company fa
vored the citizens of Griffin and vicinity, with
an entertainment nover before equalled in this
place. Tho actors are all of the rarest qualifi
cations in the profession. Among the number
was James Robinson, said to be the best rider
in the world. He has occasionally visited this
locality from his early boyhood, when he was
the favorite of all lovers of sports of the riug
and now in his manhood he is no less popular.
Others exhibited equal proficiency in feats of
strength and agility iu their respective depart
tivo departments. The horses wore of the first
quality, and iu fine order and condition. Oue
or two of those exhibited a knowledge of words
and signs, which were truly astonishing.-
Messrs. Hp&lding it Rogers are entitled to the
reputation not only of having the best stock,
both of man and beast, hut his agents and as
sistants are the most genteel, polite and accom
modating of any company which ever traveled
through this part of the country. It isnot our
purpose to discuss tho ethical merits of cir
cuses and other like performances, at this time,
hut wo take this occasion to say, if such sports
are morally wrong, the evil is greatly mitigat
ed by the genteel manner in which every thing
is conducted by this company. To all who
delight in witnessing sports of the riug, we
would commend Spalding & Rogers, as tho
model of the world.
We endorse the above with candor and cheer
fulness, and hope our Montgomery frionds
will patronize this meritorious company.
The Alabama and Mississippi Rivers Rail
Road.
The Jackson Mississippian says: “We have
every reason to believe, that under tho preseut
energetic management of the affairs of the
Company, the Southern Railroad will soon
take its way among the successful enterprises
of the day. We learn that the Board havo or
dered the first division of the Road, East of
Brandon, to be placed under contract, aud that
an effective force will probably be at work
upon it by or beforo tho first of January next.
, This will be gratifying intelligence to the
f friends of this important work.”
Gov. Geary and the Kansas Judiciary.
We published yesterday a short telegraphic
notice of the above difficulty. Tlic mail has
brought us fuller particulars. It appears from
the Leavenworth Herald that Judge Lecompte,
(formerly of Baltimore,) of the United States
District Court for that territory, admitted to
bail a man named Hays, who had been indicted
by the grand jury for murder. This, it is said,
he was induced to do on the representation
that at most it was only a suspicion against
Hays, and further that he could prove his ab
sence from thejplace at the time the murder
was committed, The Herald says:
The Judge, wc understand, assumes it to be
the law, as well as precedent in higher cases,
that in tho-U. S. Courts a Judge, in his discre
tion, may bail in case of murder. We learn
complaint is made by some against J udge Lc
compt that he refused to hear argument for
bail in the case of others, but in this case heard
counsel and then admitted Hays to bail. We
kuow nothing of this, but presume Judge Le
oompte had some justifiable reasons for what
he has done. The Governor being absent at
the time bail was allowed, on his return the
Marshal called to see him on business, when
the Governor ordered him to arrcstlTays, upon
the ground that murder is not a bailable of
fence.
Marshal Donaldson at first made some excuse,
but finally objected to make the arrest The
Governor then ordered Col. Titus, who is in
command at that place of a portion of volun
teer forces in the United States service, to take
the writ and arrest Hays. He proceeded to
execute the writ in obedience to the orders of
the Governor. We have learned that Col. Ti
tus arrested Hays, and has lodged him in jail
at Lecomptou. The Governor, we understand,
will lay the facts before the I’residcnt, and
says he will resign if Judge Mar
shal Donaldson do not resign, or are removed.
This is a question between the Executive and
the Judiciary, involving a legal point iu which
we are not competent to judge, as we are no
lawyer. But the authorities give us precedence
for bailing by the Judge of a United States
Court for murder, and even on a charge of
treason. In the case of Aaron Burr, charged
with treason, oue of the highest offences known
to our laws, he was bailed. Judge Lecompte
bailed Robinson, Brown and others, who were
charged with treason. We regret exceedingly
to hear of this difficulty, and believe it has
grown out of a misconception of the powers
that each possess.
Marshal Donaldson gives the following rea
sons for refusing to make tho arrest:
Ist. Asa ministerial officer lain unwilling
to arrogate to myself the power to contravene
or set aside the acts of a Court of Justice,
even if I disapprove of the acts of such a court,
and more especially as I am not advised of any
law conferring such power upon me.
2d. Because I am clearly of the opinion that
my act would be in violation of the law 1 have
sworn to support and execute.
3d. In making such arrest, without a legal
warrant, or other circumstances as would oth
erwise justify it, it is most clear to my mind
that 1 would lay myself liable to n suit of dam
ages which might involve and ruin my securi
ties.
The correspondent of the St. Louis Demo
crat —none of the host authority—says that
Gov. Geary has suspended Judge Lecompte
and Marshal Donaldson. Another and later
statement, however, is to the effect that Chief
Justice Lecompte has adjourned his court till
after the land sales at Leavenworth, which
were to commence on the 17th. Some 30 of
the prisoners indicted under his instructions
have succeeded in obtaining a change of venue
to Judge Cato’s Court, which opened at Tecum
seh.

The Contemplated Duel.
The duel which was to have taken place on
Monday last at Now York, accordiug to news
paper announcement, between Gen. Colcouria
and Mr. Randolph, all about the controversy
growing out of Nicaragua affairs, did not
come off. Bennet’s Herald of Monday, says:
“It seems probable that it will not take
place this morning, as announced, owing to
the publicity given to it, and nlso from the
fact that Mr. Randolph is an invalid, and un
able even to walk without assistance. Should
he fight, his friends will be compelled to carry
him to tho ground, and hold him up during the
combat. It is therefore, more than probable
that the fight will be postponed to a more con
venient season. The police made no effort to
arrest the parties, and Gen. Golcouria was in
the barroom of the St. Nicholas Hotel at a
late hour last night, while Mr. Randolph still
remains at the Washington House, No. 1,
Broadway.”
From the Lancaster Fa. Intelligencer.
Mr. Buchanan’s Administration*
There is a great deal of unnecessary specu
lation among the opposition journals just now
as to tho new cabinet and the policy of the in
coming administration. To all of these gen
tlemen we have ouly to say keep cool and be
patient a few mouths longer, and you will
know all about it. One tiling is certain, Mr.
B. will be tho President himself; he will se
lect his own cabinet; and, regardless of friend
or foe, will put his foot on every scheme which
does not look to the honor, glory, prosperity
aud perpetuity of the Union. Ilis administra
tion, we doubt not, will be eminently conser
vative in all its actions and policy, ami in per
fect accordance with his great political knowl
edge, ripe statesmanship and cautious dispo
sition. The speculations about the cabinet
are all fudge. Mr. B. has never given an inti
mation to a living soul on the subject. He
keeps his own counsels, and when his selec
tions arc onco made it will he found that his
cabinet is not ouly a unit, but that it is also a
Union cabinet. The country is fortunate in
having such an able and experienced states
man at the helm at this important period of
our history; and wo feol confident—ay, the
whole nation feels confident—that he is just the
inau for tho present crisis.
Shooting in Pike.
The Troy (Ala.) American, of the 2tith, has
the following:
Ou Saturday night last, our generally, quiet
town was thrown into very considerable ex
citement, in consequence of a shooting affair
that came off in front of Mr. James K. Mur*
phree’s livery stable, about midnight. Marius
Thompson, of this town, assaulted A. B. Mc-
Carty, of Dadeville, with a pistol, ball taking
effect*about thepitof the stomach, hut strik
ing a “button on his vest, glanced a little to the
right and passed through the body, lodging
just under the surface of the skin at his back.
We know no particulars concerning tho diffi
culty ; but from what we can learn, the assault
was unprovoked, and, under the circum
stances, with murderous intent.
Thompsou fled immediately and is yet a
large, no step, that we can learn, having been
taken for his apprehension. McCarty’s wound
was at first thought to be mortal; hut his
prospects for recovery are now bettor, aud ho
is thought by his physicians aud friends to bo
out of danger.

More about Mexican Steamer Democrat.
Wanton Outrage ox the American Flag.
—lt will be remembered that a few weeks since
■ we published an account of the appearance of
tho Mexican war steamer Democrat at. the port
of Coatzacoalcos after having b9cn run off
from Vera Cruz by her crew, and that whilst
there she forcibly carried oti'the collector, and
moreover fired into a Mexican vclsel, name
unknown. Os the subsequent proceedings of
this piratical craft, our readers have been al
ready informed by advices from Mexico and
Havana.
The affair, however, at Goatzacoalcos turns
out to he quite different from what was pre
viously reported, and involves a most wanton
and deliberate outrage on the American ting,
for which the parties concerned will most as
suredly have to answer.
Capt. Thompson, of the schooner Mai. Bar
hour which arrived last evening from .the
Coatzacoalcos river informs us that he reach
ed there from Sisal on the 12th ult., and that
about half an hour after lie anchored, the
steamer Democrat come in under Mexican co
ld’s, and commenced firing at his vessel. Pro
ceeding shortly up the river, the steamer fired
; at the persons on shore, and when within 20
| yards of the Major Barbour, the commander
| of the Democrat, who stood on the upper deck,
drew forth a pistol and fired deliberately at
Capt. Thompson. At the same time the form
er gave the order to fire, which was done, and
the shot took effect in the square-sail yard
and hnl-yards of the schooner, carrying away
a portion of the rigging and lodging four
grape-shot in the foremast. The American
flag was likewise perforated by three pistol
shots.
Capt. Thompson states that his attack was
i entirely wanton and unprovoked, and was
| looked upon by those on shore as an act of pi
j racy. The Democrat took off as prisoners the
Mexican commandant and custom-house offi-
I eer. The people on shore were dreadfully
frightened, aud could not comprehend tlie
cause of this outrageous proceeding.
Subsqueirtly Capt. Thompson called upon
several Mexican aud American citizens, and in
their presence, and before the American Con
sul at Minatitlan, drew up a protest, embody
ing in detail the facts above recited, which
has been forwarded to Washington.
Capt. Thompson left at Coatzacolcos bark

A private letter received at New Orleans on
the 2tsth Oct. from Tamaulipas states that a
pitched battle took place on the 10th, near Mon
terey, between Vidauri and Garza. The latter
lost every thing, and barely escaped with his
own person. It is thought that Vidauri’s suc
cess will have great effect on Commonfort’s go
vernment.

Financial.
In New York, on Monday last, there was a
buoyant feeling in the money market, with no
decline in tho rates of interest, although the
demand for money was not equal to the sup
ply offering. The discount brokers had large
I unemployed balances left over.
The Daily News of Tuesday says:
The Bank returns for the week show very
I strikingly the increased abundance of money,
j The net deposits in bunk have been increased
$1,200,000; their specie $715,000, and their
! loans $950,4159.
Their Clearing House transactions show a

i The rates tor the loan nml discount of rno
i ney are steadily working downward. To-day
loans have been made on short call, at fit, per
I cent., and discounts at 8 a 9 per cent, for prime
paper, aud 9 a 10 per cent, for good indorsed
j paper according to date : and we expect rates
j will full to seven an 1 eight per cent before
j the week closes.
The Journal of Commerce of Tuesday moru
’ iug, 25tli inst., says :
There is a more buoyant feeling in the mar
ket, although without any decline in rates of
! interest, or any falling off in the demand for
money. The banks in the interior are press
ed for money to make the necessary remittan
ces, aud on this account specie comes forward
! less rapidly than it is due. The current, how
ever, is decidedly iii this direction, and there
j is a steady gain from the country.
The stock market is more buoyant and prices
at the First Board were generally higher.—
Western stocks, and especially Galena and Chi
cago, materially improved. At the Second
i Board, there was A farther advance, Erie going
up to 61|[, and all descriptions closing buoy

The Persia brought advices of higher prices in the

however, notwithstanding the very stringent state of
monetary affairs, continue very firm aud are not dispos
ed to accept lower offers, consequently though the dai
ly inquiry lias been to a fair extent, the trade have con
fined their purchases to small lots sufficient to meet
their presout wants. The more useful qualities (from
O&d. to 7d.) being very scarce are dearer, but the com
moner descriptions, particularly those of a dull blue
color, are ueglected and prices display some irregulari
ty; this is more apparent since yesterday when the
Rank of England equalized her rate of discount to 7 per
cent, for all paper, when some speculative.holders turn
ed sellers.
Imports keep very small, and our stock has this week
further decreased by 31,470 hales, the American now
barely exceeding 300,001 l bales, and the total being un
der 402,000. At sea there are of American only 24,000

Brazil have been in moderate request, and last week’s
prices are barely supported. Egyptians have declined
about %and per lb.
In Surata there has been rather less doing, but prices

To-day there is a fair inquiry, but the sales being made
up of small lots, only reach 7,000 bales, chiefly to the

Interesting Slave Case.
Hon. William A. Lake, M. C., of Mississip
pi, was yesterday at Columbus, Ohio, cn route
for (Washington, having with him three slaves.
A writ of habeas corpus was taken out in thier
behalf but the Sheriff of Franklin county took
the responsibility of refusing to serve the writ.
Considerable excitement followed, but what
proceedings were instituted we did not learn.
We are informed that dispatches were sent for
ward to Newark and Zanesville to have the
progress of Mr. Lake arrested at oue of these
points. It was reported that, for the purpose
of avoiding the apprehended trouble, the cars
would not be stopped at the deports as usual.
The result we have ‘not ascertained.—Cincin
nati Commercial.
It is a remarkable that not a white man was
concerned in the above attempt to rescue Mr.
Lake’s negroes from him. It was left wholly
to a few impudent and excited negroes of this
city, aud they utterly failed iu their attempt
ed rescue. Mr. Lake was accompanied by his
family, (wife and children), and they’ had with
them three negro women, who seemed, as we
learn, to have treated their colored brethren
in their labors of love, with contempt, and ut
terly refused to leave their master and mis
tress. Lake came to this city’ with his family’
ou Saturday evening, and there being no Sun
day train, remained at the Neil House until
Monday morning 10 o’clock, and then pro
ceeded East; followed, however, to the Depot
here by a gang of negroes. But they received
no countenance that we have learned from any
white citizen, and were thus wholly thwarted
in their efforts. Though preparations were
made by them to make an effort at Newark, it
failed as it did here. The train, however,
made its usual stops, and all that occurred
was, that it was not detained to accommodate
tho negroes. Columbus (Ohio) Statesman.
The Heading Qualification.
It is said that 400 persons in Connecticut
were deprived of their vote this month by the
new constitutional provision requiring that they
should kuow how to read aud write in order to
vote. The Philadelphia Ledger says :
“ Connecticut is the first State that has made
an attempt to disfranchise a free citizen. It is
desirable that every man should possess those
aids to knowledge, reading and writing, but we
should not fall into the error of mistaking the
mere instrumentalities for intelligence itself.—
A man may kuow how to think correctly who
knows nothing at all of reading and writing,
and some that can do both the latter have no
original thinking power. The latter less capa
ple of exercising the light of suffrage intelli
gently than the man who possesses natural
| mother wit, without any assistance from read
ing. An aristocracy founded on scholastic at
tainments may be better than one based upon
property, but an aristocracy of any kind in a
representative republic, established ou the
principle of equal political rights, is not very
consistent, nor very Democratic.
